After dabbling with squeezeplug on raspberry pi and o2 joggler devices I
switched to buying Squeezebox original hardware on eBay. Had problems
with network and terrible music syncing, always drifting, on the home
brew stuff.
Since switching to a system of booms and receivers the syncing is

I purchased a Touch off ebay not too long ago. I think if you find a
seller that has good ratings and they say it's in good condition, you're

small box that you plug in to your hifi in a similar way to a Touch.
Picoreplayer is the software you need to burn onto a micro SD card.

I've good experiences doing so. (No experience with ebay.com, though,
I've bought on ebay.de.)
But a Touch? I'd rather build one myself similar to this:

Hi there,
I currently have a Touch, an SB3 and a Radio, and I'm looking to pick up
another Touch on eBay (basically, to replace the SB3 since Rhapsody no
longer works on SB3's). I'm curious what experiences folks here have
had in picking up used Squeeze devices on eBay. Anything to watch out
